Chained By Fear: The Death Wizard Chronicles

For more than seventy years, the most powerful sorcerer in the world has held a woman prisoner in a magical tower.



Invictus forces Laylah, his own sister, to be his queen.



Even the immense power Laylah draws from moonlight does not give her the strength to free herself . . . until she forms an unlikely alliance with two of the sorcerer's most trusted soldiers as well as an ancient demon with diabolical motives.



Laylah's dramatic escape leads her to the one man who might be able to save her-Torg, the Death-Knower wizard. Drawn together by supernatural passion, the pair attempts to outrun Invictus' minions and reach the safety of the White City.
